First, what about a button/link near the "jump to your next playable game" that says "snap and jump to next playable game." If nothing else it would be a nice reminder (I snap almost by habit now, but still). But it would also save me a click when jumping btwn games

That's a great idea! It would help alot. But wich snap? Normal snap, or chat snap?

So if a territ can be bombarded by another territ and there's a two way border, you'd see a solid line across the top, the bottom half of the left and right lines and a solid line across the bottom. The other territ be the same with the half lines on the left and right coming down from the top of the square.

If territ A can bombard territ B and territ B can one way attack territ A, it would be harder. Perhaps a mouse over on territ A would yield a whole square on territ B except it would only have the top half of the right side. Mousever on B would show everything but the top half of the left side on territ A.

What I do in this cases, is read the legend that BoB gives you when you out your mouse over a region, so I can be sure if this is attack or bombard or....

I honestly forgot normal snap existed. Chat snaps are there on any computer you use; I don't see the advantage of the other any more.

Another part of changing how territories connect is that you need to take conditional borders into effect as well.

chat snaps for sure

A lot of the more complicated maps are also the bigger ones. Sometimes it's hard to have all the territs and the BoB summary on the screen at the same time. But yes, I have used that. This second part isn't as big of a deal. The main problem I have is that the mouseover returns results that don't make you think to look any further. I guess I wouldn't mind if it just had a big black square around it, which would indicate that you should do some further research (read the key or read the BoB legend below the map). This could also be what conditional borders look like until a better system is invented. Honestly, I'm not sure if I like the graphical "solution" that I proposed.

You could color code start positions, too.

BOB does not actually parse the XML. It works entirely with the page contents as provided by the site and/or information from the game API.

Hmm just got Chrome since i can't use FF anymore. When i try to download BOB chrome tells me you can't add any extension that don't come directly from the chrome store. Does anyone know how to get around this?

Download the extension file from the website and save it to your computer.Click the wrench icon on the browser toolbar.Select Tools > Extensions.Locate the extension file on your computer and drag the file onto the Extensions page.Review the list of permissions in the dialog that appears. If you would like to proceed, click Install.

i tried all the basics like follow the instructions. its checkmarked, but still i see no bob menu

i managed to get an older version (i found 4.7.3) to sorta work, menu shows up, it just gets stuck on 'parsing XML' part

but cannot see anything with 5.2.3, i am guessing its the URL include is slightly different as 4.7.3 is http://*conquerclub.com*, and 5.2.3 is *://*conquerclub.com*???

any way i can edit the script and then import to greasemonkey when done? anyone done this before? i tried but it wasnt in jar format so it balked

I have it as a http*://*conquerclub.com* and works fine. Also there's no need to edit (and import) the script, just go to manage scripts, select bob, options, and add a page a user setting and try all possible combinations

If you find a mechanism that lets you execute additional javascript on the browser for the ipad, then it's doable. But atm I don't think it's possible. I tried it on my ipod touch 2 years back, but it didn't work right away.
